Tchaikovsky's EUGENE ONEGIN at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Onstage now through March 20

Intensely passionate drama set to some of opera’s most sweeping, soulful, and heartstoppingly beautiful music — that is Eugene Onegin. Tatiana is a lovesick country girl, and Onegin is the sophisticated young man who callously spurns her love before realizing, too late, what a mistake he’s made. Here is Pushkin’s profoundly human, hopelessly romantic, ultimately devastating story, elevated by Tchaikovsky’s richly layered and unabashedly expressive music. Find out why Eugene Onegin is beloved by opera audiences the world over.

I'm glad to see this production still in use. I was sad to see the Met replace it with a darker, winter-like setting. I love the use of fall leaves in this version!

The opening two minutes with one gin pacing and the flowers falling from the ceiling NEEDS to be put on here

The staging of the Polonaise was quite odd. The atmosphere in the house was that of being let down. There was barely any applause when it finished. Other than that, it was extremely satisfying.

I wish I could see the whole production. Unfortunately the distance doesn't allow me. Will you consider releasing it on dvd?
